WTC Panama Complex to its Tenants

Promote you Company on the illuminated screen

One of the benefits of being in the WTC Panama is the ability to promote your company and/or the services your company has to offer during the day for free on the big illuminated screen that is located in the front of the WTC Panama Complex. Your promotional content needs to be provided in the form of a video (wav, avi, mp4 or mpg) or in the form of a PowerPoint presentation (max 2 minutes). In case of a PowerPoint presentation, each template can contain up to three lines of alpha numeric text with large letters to occupy more space, simple and unvarnished, the same as the logos. If you are interested in promoting your company through this channel, please stop by at the Administration’s Office, with your CD with information.

Reactivation of the Heliport

WTC Panama has teamed up with Helipan S.A. to ensure that the proper guidelines are followed while the reactivation works take place on the Helipad located on the rooftop of the Office Tower. WTC Panama aims to have the Helipad operational at the end of this year. Offering an active Helipad conveniently located at the WTC Panama will allow for many different uses, not only limited to business travel, but also to emergency and rescue operations, such as air ambulances. The availability of the Helipad will be open to any emergency and to preplanned and requested landings. Keep track of the latest updates and progress following them on Social Media:
